The Heartbreakers - LAMF (Revisited, or the Lost Mixes will do just fine)
The Rezillos - Can't Stand the Rezillos (get the "Almost Complete" anthology version if possible)
Dead Boys - Young, Loud and Snotty
The Undertones - The Undertones
Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Blank Generation
Most of this qualifies as "old" punk, though the Germs paved the way for the LA Hardcore scene.
As for Skate punk... I didn't see JFA or McRad mentioned.
